POTENT MONOPOLY.
The Wealthy Chicago Gas Trust
Still on Ton

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-rhe great gas
trust, which lately bought a controlling
interest in all the gas companies of the
| city, is credited by a morning paper
with having bought off the latest Oppo-
nentS who were fighting the trust in the
courts. The plaintiff was the Hoffman
estate, of New York city, which owned
400 shares of stock in the Chicago Gas
| Light & Coke company. Late yesterday
| the attorneys representing the estate re-
| ceived the following dispatch: The
estate has made satisfactory arrange
nentS with the defendants. Dismiss all
proceedings before Judge Tuley. Letter
mailed" This is the second time suits
| brought against the trust have come to
naught. The directory some months
ago had succeeded in buying up all the
stock of the Gas q Coke company with
the exception of few shares. The di-
rectOrs paid $3.50 for shares of the par
value OF S25. The trust then gave out
information to the effect that it was
going to make improvements and
was about to mortgage its property
for the purpose of raising the
necessary means. They at once issued
bonds to the amount of $3.50, 600, and
before any litigation commenced, they
claimed to have sold the bonds. About
the middle of September last, the trust
attempted to have the mortgage recorded
without publicity. The document was
marked ''filed, y but as the obligation of
secrecy could not be carried out, it was
returned to the directors. On Oct. ),
shareholder, named Addick. holding
eighteen shares, brought bill in the
superior court praying for an injunction
to restrain the trust from issuing such
mortgages. On the morning of Oct. 6,
the mortgage was recorded. This action
rendered the injunction imperative,
even had it been granted. Addick then
filed an amended bill. but that case has
been dropped, and it is believed that he
has been handsomely paid for his stock.
The Hoffman estate in New York
originally held 1,200 shares. Eight
hundred of this stock was sold to the
trust for $3.50 a share; but before the
entire lot was closed out, the attorneys
representing that interest discovered
that all was not right, and refused to
convey the remaining 400 shares. Rely
ing on this belief, the state filed a bill
asking for an injunction to prevent the
trust from issuing the bonds and TO COM
pei disclosure of the names of the
persons or institutions that had pur-
chased the bonds, if they had really
been sold. They prayed for receiver.
All the gas companies in the city were
made defendants and an injunction was
asked to prevent the trust from dictat-
ing the policy of such companies. The
case was argued before Judge Tuley
last week and decision was expected
in few days. 1t is not known as yet
what the trust paid the Hoffman estate
for the 400 shares, or what inducements
held out to them made them drop the
suit. When the case came before Judge
Tuley this morning the attorneys for
the plaintiffs moved 10 have it dismissed
at their cost and the court so ordered.

Virginia'S Vote,

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 23.-Dr. U. D.
Pendleton, clerk of the state senate,
furnishes the following official returns
of the recent election for members of
the legislature: Total Democratic vote
in the state, leaving out the county of
NansemOnd, from which there are two
returns, 1885; total Republican vote,
1l6,9 $40; Democratic majority, 2,615. The
first return from NanSemond gives a
Republican majority of 359, leaving a
net Democratic majority of 2,256. In
the counties of Amelia, Greensville,
NOttaway, Stafford and SusSex:there
were no Democratic nominees for the
house of delegates, and consequently no
Democratic vote was polled. These
counties gave Gov. Lee 1852 votes.
Clark county had no Republican nomi-
nee for the house, but pOlled 81 votes
for the Republican senator. This indi-
Gates that had the five counties named
pOlled their Democratic vote the Demo-
cratic majority in the state would have
been about $500.
